    #PREACH! Dude(-ette?), seriously. I used to get teased so bad as a kid because I preferred playing with girls, and when asked why I always answered: "Because boys scream and hit each other. Girls wear cute clothes and practice their tea etiquette." Even as adults, I find women to be better...

    Hey all! My name is Austin and I have begun the official diagnosis process here in the UK. I'm still waiting for my assessment appointment, but have gone through a lot of pre-screening, screening, and have informed myself via copious amounts of literature (both scientific and anecdotal)...
